Chapter 361: Chapter 361 - Support

“If you hadn’t taken a bullet for me, you wouldn’t have seen that invisible tattoo either. So, Lu Yan, you have to believe me! I’m really your father, your biological father!” Master Gu Er was anxious because Lu Yan didn’t seem to trust him.

I coughed. “Excuse me.” Everyone turned to me.

“Master Gu Er, this is your family’s private matter. Shouldn’t you find a place with better privacy? Even Gu Yan’s ward is better than here, right? Personally, I am not surprised Lu Yan can’t accept this truth. She is an orphan. Ever since she started school, she had to pay student loans while working extra jobs.

“According to what we know, Lu Yan has to work two jobs on top of studying hard. She grew up in hardship. Without the Gu Family, she has made a good life for herself. She is outstanding, right, Master Liu? She’s your assistant, so you should know.”

Gu Nian couldn’t help but nod.

I smiled. “So why don’t you move this conversation to somewhere more private. That way, outsiders like us wouldn’t be in the way.” I gestured at the door.

Master Gu Er nodded. “Yes, Nanxing is right! Nanxing, thank you!” I believed he must be delirious with joy to actually thank me.

Gu Nian was the one who took charge of the situation. He told Lu Yan gently, “Lu Yan, let’s move to your ward first.” He ordered Master Gu Er’s bodyguard. “Take Mr. Si Nan with us. Look after him.”

Master Gu Er immediately added, “Yes, do as Master Liu says. Bring Mr. Si Nan home and take good care of him.” He turned to Lu Yan, “He’s your friend, right? Don’t worry, Daddy will take good care of him!”

Si Nan refused to leave with the bodyguard. He looked at Lu Yan and cried out for her, “Sister, Sister…”

Lu Yan walked over silently and personally helped Si Nan up. She hugged him with one hand and said gently, “Don’t be afraid. Sister is here.”

Then, she grabbed Si Nan’s hand. “Come with Sister. We’ll go to my ward.”

As everyone walked out, Jing Ni suddenly shouted, “Lu Yan, even without any family background, you’re already the best version of yourself. Lu Yan, no matter what, we’re still your roommates!”

Lu Yan turned around and bowed to us. “Thank you! Meeting you guys is the greatest fortune of my life!”

Jing Ning turned around and glared at Jing Ni. Jing Ni actually smiled at him.

After they left, Mai Qi gave Jing Ni a thumbs up. “Ni Ni, you’re too awesome. With just one sentence, you’ve offended Jing Ning, Gu Yan, and Ye Qian.”

I patted her head. “Stop kidding. You’re making it sound like they’ll let us be if we didn’t say anything.”

Jing Ni smiled faintly. “Are you scared?”

Mai Qi’s eyes widened. “Scared? Why should I be scared? Am I that easily scared? Hmph!”

Jing Ni and I laughed.

But I was telling the truth. If you showed weakness, your enemy wouldn’t show mercy, and they would only bully your harder. So why not stand up for yourselves and fight fairly?

Lu Yan had achieved a complete victory even though she had not done anything. We were impressed. She was smart and resourceful. In terms of being calculative, Lu Yan was not inferior to Ye Qian.
